Edit: long term so no "off" days & 150k ish per year depending how many holidays I take.
Developer (currently at a startup) £62k, no stock but I do have a pension/healthcare. 17 years experience, initially as a general web developer, then front end, now more back end. Currently Ruby on Rails but I can turn my hand to almost anything. Not a manager, not a senior developer, not a tech lead. No desire to be. I work quite short hours (9.30-5) and that's what's most important to me.

Where do you work? There seems to be a significant lack of hardware jobs in London.
Nokia (and it's only just about in London). Other than Cambridge, Langley and Bristol there's very little in the UK at all.

In my experience, contract rates in London have been dropping like a stone in the last 2 years. I'm still not sure why that is, but feel forced to start planning my escape...
(My current rate is an awful £300, and that was hard to find!)

Ah interesting, I didn't realise they had an office in London. Are there any engineering vacancies at the moment?

You should try Nottingham too. There is at least 1 major brand with deep pockets offering very interesting amounts of money for developers at the moment.
What is the company? Recently moved to Nottingham. Not looking for a job but curious to learn more about the tech scene.

today you can still get £100k+ as a senior developer in a bank for doing c++, java, with or without domain knowledge, but bonus is likely to be a lot less, more like 15-30%, of course exceptions apply
Pure curiosity - is this for an 8 hour day? or 10? or more? Just wondering what the downsides are to working for a bank.
Are we only talking programmer side? Digital marketing, education sector, 4 years experience: £39k + healthcare

Is that per hour? I think I'd kill for that.. or was that per day? I'm based in the states so that seems quite nice for me.
